Amazon Goldbox RSS

Does a few things to jumpstart and automate some of the affiliate work:

• By default, runs daily at 8:50am
• Grabs the XML feed and translates it to JSON
• Cleans up the meta into a more usable format
• Adds the affiliate ID as a tag to all links
• Finally, dumps it in the bucket

Prerequisites

• AWS IAM user set up and configured
• S3 bucket created with policy desired

Get Started

1. npm install
2. Create a your configuration file as outlined below
3. sls offline start

This should jump start you into a local instance. An endpoint should now be available at localhost:3000/goldbox which will dump into your S3 bucket per your configuration and stage defined in your serverless config.

Deploying

sls deploy

Configuration

Create a file in the root of the project called env.yml with the following:

affiliate_id: <Affiliate ID>
bucket: <Bucket Name>
